  1. YOUR NEW FAV FLAVA

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, combine the grated garlic, a drizzle of oil, the honey, the Peruvian spices, and seasoning. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. Add the chicken pieces to the spiced honey mixture and toss until coated. Place on a roasting tray in a single layer. Place the sweet potato wedges on a separate roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Pop both trays in the hot oven and roast until cooked through and crisping up, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
